DESCRIPTION OF INITIATIVE
Tours from Genius Loci Travel aim at delivering authentic local experiences, but the organisations also takes active steps to care for the destination clients travel to. For example through the planning of networks of footpaths and trails, and the actual cleaning and waymarking of many of these – in collaboration with the local authorities and local population.
